Evaluation
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a standalone companion/prequel game to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, developed by NatsumeAtari. It launched on May 10, 2022 as a complete, self-contained action RPG. The store description presents it as a finished narrative experience — a prequel adventure with a beginning, middle, and end that sets up the world of Hundred Heroes.
Importantly, all of the news posts in the developer feed relate to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (App ID 1658280), not to Rising (App ID 1658290). The DLC expansions (Chapter of Marisa, Story of Seign, Chapter of Markus) are expansions for Hundred Heroes, not for Rising. Rising has no DLC listed, no post-launch updates announced for it specifically, and no developer communications indicating that additional content is planned for the game itself.
The developer has never announced any post-launch content for Rising specifically, and there is no update cadence to speak of for this title. It launched as a complete companion game and has remained so. The three story expansions that shipped in early 2025 were confirmed to be for Hundred Heroes, and the announcement post explicitly described them as "the last scenario parts that Murayama worked on directly" — referring to Hundred Heroes content, not Rising.
Evidence

About this game
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising combines a thrilling adventure through ancient ruins with the tale of one town’s rise from the ashes.
Drawn by lenses and other treasures in the nearby Runebarrows, our heroes learn that the town is struggling to rebuild after an earthquake and decide to help. Along the way, they’ll resolve disputes between eager adventurers and wary locals who don’t think the Barrows should be disturbed. And they’ll learn more about each other’s reasons for seeking treasure, deepening their bonds in the process.
As you will learn, these Runebarrows hide a great secret that has fateful implications for one of the characters. What begins as a simple treasure hunt turns into a dark conspiracy that will shake the world and plant seeds that carry over into the main story of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.
The game will introduce a portion of Eiyuden Chronicle’s cast of characters in an original story with thrilling action and engaging town-upgrading elements.
There will be some perks for players that link the game with Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.
*The name of one character from the Eiyuden Chronicle franchise has been changed from JB to CJ.
